The yellow is at its purest and natural state. Where as the white has be altered which means its not at its purest or natural state.

I would say it is "pale yellow". I had some left from my veternarian and compared the two when I received my order ... exactly the same color.

Thanks Regina! I wasn't planning on heating but that's good to know too! This looks like the only Shea butter certified by the American Shea Butter Institute. I hear there are a lot of low grade non medicinal Shea out there.

As shipped, my Shea Butter came darker than pictured and it does have a hint of green. When melted, it is absolutely green, however when whipped, surprisingly it is cream in color. I also added equal amounts of coconut oil before whipping it - not sure if that helped in change the color. I may look for another seller, but I think this is acceptable quality.

I don't know how to answer this statement. - both were labeled with very large labels on their bags. The shea butter was yellow and soft the cocoa butter was cream colored and firm. each smelled as you would expect.

The only difference is that one has SHEA BUTTER in it and the other doesn't. The black soap in your link doesn't have shea butter.*I am LC from NC.*

Not all shea butters are the same. I believe the nuttier smelling variety is more pure and better quality. The ivory is almost always better than yellow. Because of the increasing popularity of it; some sellers have been selling lesser quality shea butter. The nuttier scented variety is always the rawest and less refined .

Hi , I have purchased two bottles before and both were white in color or at most ivory but definitely not yellow. Hope this helps!

Raw unrefined Ivory Shea Butter is 100% Unrefined. There is no other ingredients or preservatives or additives in it. You will need to refined it before you use it. You will need to melt it down and filer it. It will have shells and debris in it. The Shea Butter is wonderful I will be buying more of it when I run out.

Hello! The African Shea butter should be smooth and creamy. Mine did not come with lumps but I don't think it's anything to worry about. It's very thick and has somewhat of a gritty feeling to me with a dark yellowish color.

The yellow is a true shea butter as most people know it, I however know that they are both equal. I purchased 5 lbs if both and have made the best bday butters with these two products. The price is great! I love this product I am stocked up for a bit but, as soon as I need more I will order from this company again!

I would answer no to this. When it arrives, it's the consistency of Shea Butter in it's naturally prepped form for retail use. In my opinion, it is pure and I appreciate that factor. I always blend and whip with natural oils to my liking anyway. I hope my opinion is helpful to you Khrystal.

Hi, thanks for your question. According to the product title, this listing is for the ivory color only. I've searched our catalog and found one other listing for this blanket in Linen color, king size:

the ivory is really ivory, it is a heavy cream color. By that I mean while still neutral, it has a lot of color, definitely not white.

They are off white NOT ivory. They have NO yellow hue to them. They are white but not bright white, more of a soft white. Hope this helps :)

Hi Karen I received a little sticker on my shea butter when I ordered it. If you didn't receive it, contact the seller, she is extremely nice and may be able to clarify this issue for you.

The color is pale ivory and I believe raw is unrefined... But that you could double check with the seller..
